FLASH LIGHT SAFETY RAZOR.

Application filed March 6, 1926. Serial No. 92,793.

This invention relates generally to safety razors used for shaving, theinvention havlng more particular reference to an improved safety razorand combined electric light. The invention has for an object theprovision of an improved combination safety razor and electric lightwhich will enable the user to secure a better shave due to better light.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an improvedcombination safety razor and electric light of simple and cheapconstruction and novel arrangement of parts.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the follow- 'ingdescription and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claim in whichthe various novel features of the invention are more particularly setforth.

Fig. 1 of the drawing, is a front elevational View of my improvedcombination safety razor and electric light.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational View thereof.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof.

- Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side elevational View illustrating amodification of my improved combination safety razor and electric light.

Fig. 5 is a similar view illustrating a further modification of myimproved combination safety razor and electric light.

As here embodied my improved safety razor and electric light embodies acase 10, of hollow cylindrical construction, adapted to contain a drybattery 11 of common ordi nary construction, as a source of electricpower to light the electric light bulb 12, which is suitably locatedabove the dry bate tery 11, when the switch button 13, is pressedinward. The case 10, is also provided with an end 14, removably'attached thereto, by screw threads or any similar suitable means.

The cap 15, is removably attached to the upper extremity of the case 10,by screw threads or any similar suitable means, and is provided with alens 16, or transparent member, preferably at an angle to the cap 15,

as clearly shown in the accompanying drawmg.

The safety razor blade 17, is of common ordinary design andconstruction, such as generally used for safety razors, and is suitablysupported by the vertical projecting portions 18 of the support 19 whichis provided with a serrated edge 20, located adjaccnt to the cuttingedge of the razor blade 17, so as to regulate or gauge the shaving cutof the razor blade, as is common practice in safety razors. The support19 is also pro-' vided with depending elements 21 and 22, suitably bentor otherwise formed, sons to permit of removably attaching the dependingelements 21, at their lower extremities to the said cap 15, as at 23 and24 respectively, by means of thumb screws 25, or any similar suitablemeans.'

The clip 26, is pivotally attached to the depending elements 21 and 22,as at 27, and is provided with a pointed free extremity 28, and asimilar shaped portion 29 adapted to firmly hold the razor blade 17 inplace, it being understood that the clip 26 is positioned directly abovethe razor blade 17, between the vertical projecting portions 18 of thesupport 19, and that the clip 26, is provided with inner extremities 30,adapted to engage the V shaped recesses suitably formed in the thumbscrews 31, which are threadedly attaohedto the depending elements 21 and22, and. with nuts 32. The above described construction being such aswill permit the said thumb screws 31 when turned or rotated to force theclip 26 against the razor blade 17 so as to firmly hold the razor blade17 in place, it being under- 35 stood that the said nuts 32, areprovided to lock the thumb screws 31 in position.

The cap 15 is provided with recesses 41, adapted to receive theprotruding portions 42, of the depending elements 21 and 22, it beingunderstood that the recesses 41 are located in raised or extendedportions of the cap 15, the above mentioned construction being such aswill permit the extended elements 21 and 22 to be positioned at anydesired relative angle to the said cap 15.

Referring in particular to Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawing in which Ihave illustrated a modification of my improved device, the dependingelements 21 and 22, are jointed at their outer extremities, as at 33,which is provided with a threaded. aperture 34, adapted to removablyreceive the holder 35, and the clamping member 36, to firmly hold thesafety razor blade 37 in position, it being understood that the saidholder 35, the clam ing member 36, and, the safety razor blade 37, arethose used in the Gillette safety razor, which is extensively used.

Referringin particular to Fig. 5, of the accompanying drawing, in whichI have illustrated a further modification of my improved device, thethreaded a )erture 34 is adapted to removahly receive t e holder 38, andthe clamping member 39, to firmly hold the safety razor blade 40 inposition, it being understood that the said holder 38, the clampingmember 39, and the safety razor blade 40, are those used in the Gemsafety razor, which is commonly used.

My flashlight device and safety razor holder is readily adapt able toany of the present type of safety razors which have a threaded stem,or atapped hole for the purpose of attaching the same to a holder.

Having: thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

In a device of the class described, the combination with a cap adaptedto cover one end of a flashlight and to direct light therefrom, of linkspivotally attached at one end to the sides of said cap and diverging inadvance thereof in spaced relation to the paths of the rays oflightemitted by said fiashlight, said links being adapted at their upperextremities to be pivotally attached to the end portions of a safetyrazor for adjustahly supporting the same in advance of said cap, andprojections on the inner sides of said links adapted to engage inspaced: recesses in said cap for retaining said links in an adjustedposition.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my si gn att re.

FRANK POLLIFRONE.
